The award has indeed boost-up our enthusiasm for promoting accessible publishing, we will accelerate our campaign for “Enhancing learning capabilities of children with visual and print disabilities by accessible publishing”. This is also a wonderful opportunity and encouragement for us to benefit the children with print and visual disabilities in remote part and the earthquake affected districts in Nepal.
